I was asked at the meeting a couple of weeks ago to come up with some
standard text we can use for bugs filed against orphaned packages.
Here's my draft:
---
This bug has been filed against an orphaned package - that is, a package
which has no currently active maintainer. We are happy to accept your
report, but the fact that the package is orphaned means you may
unfortunately be unlikely to receive a positive response. If you are a
Fedora packager already, perhaps you might consider adopting this
package. If you believe this bug could have serious consequences beyond
this package, please report it to the 'test' mailing list:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test , explaining that
you need to draw attention to an important bug in an orphaned package.
---
Does this look OK to everyone? Anything else that should be mentioned?
Thanks!
